Unfortunately my trip was on the day there was water and wind problems north of Olympia. It was a long day of travel, which became an hour and a half longer. Fortunately I was able to get a hold of my ride , who picked me up, or it would have become more difficult. I was dry, warm, had light to read, etc, and access to a restroom, so that part was good.

Train was taken in Seattle to PDX, staff almost nonexistent, washrooms filthy. Train, comfortable seating, swift and easy. Feels like with more staff and $ investment in all amenities it could be fun!

Very positive overall, but no stops were long enough for a break, which would have been nice traveling from Vancouver, CA to Portland,OR

The driver was the worst. He wanted people to not use bathrooms at the border check. He wanted passengers to use the bus bathroom whose door did not lock and the light was broken. His behavior was terrible. He himself took food and bathroom breaks which caused delays

The bus was way to cold. I got sick the day after because the air conditioning was so cool. I could not close the lid because it was broken. This was unfortunately a really bad drive, even if the bus was on hour earlier at the destination.
